UNITED STATES CORNELUS KERKHOF, OF HACKENSACK, NEW JERSEY.

RECEP'IACLE.

Application filed November T all-whom it may concern:

,Be it known that I, CoRNELUs KERKHOF, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Hackensack, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the class of receptacles and more particularly to bottles made of paper or the like.

An object of the invention is to provide a sanitary destructible receptacle of this character which, for all intents and purposes will possess the practical qualities of a glass bottle of the kind usually employed as a container for milk.

A still further object of the invention is to improve the form and construction of "containers of this type which will be inexpensive of production, highly eflicient for the purpose intended; one which will be strong and durable and not apt to be destroyed in transit or handling; one which .will possess an appreciable measure of rigidity, and one which when once used may be destroyed so as to avoid the risk of transmitting infectious diseases.

Another object of the invention is to pro-- vide a-bottle of this character which is particularly constructed at its neck portion so as to serve as a rigid seat for the customary Ihereinafter fully described, are particularly d or suitable stiff material such as fiber. This rin closure cap. Y

' With these and other objects in view, the invention resides in certain novel construction-and combination and arrangements of parts, the essential features of which are pointed out in the appended claims, an are'illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a side view of the bottle'partly completed, parts being shown in section. Figure 2 is a sectional View of a portion -of a-bottle with the cap applied.

Figure 3 is a plan view of the clamping Figure 4. is-a view similar to Figure 2 showing the clamping ring applied.

.Figure 5'is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a slightly modified form of the invention.

Figure 8 is a similar view showing the' final step of assembling the parts of the bottle.

Figure 9 is a plan view of the clamping ring.

Figure 11 is a similar view showing the second step of assembling the parts.

Figure 12 is asimilar view showing the final step of assembling the parts.

As stated, it is an important object of the present invention to provide a paper or destructible bottle which will be practical and highly efficient as a substitute for the well-known form of glass bottle. Tn order to accomplish this purpose of the invention, I have solely combined certain features of construction which will give to the bottle a high measure of strength and rigidity together with a novel form of reinforcement at the neck of the bottle so as to permit of the customary application thereto or removal therefrom of the usual form of cardboard sealing disk.

In carrying the invention into practice and with particular reference to the form of my invention shown in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive the bottle consists of a substantially frusto-conical body 10 formed of paper or the equivalent thereof of suitable texture. Embracing the restricted end of the body 10 is a mouth piece 11 constructed of metal mouth piece is provided with an annular external collar 12, an angular wall 13 and a flared annular wall 14, the free edge of the latter being rolled at 15 as shown.

On reference to Figural which illustrates the first step in assembling the several parts of my improved bottle, it will be observed that the restricted walls of the body 10 are normally extended at 16 to a point slightly above the angular shoulder 13. I then upset theextension 16 against the shoulder as shown in Figure 2. In order that this upset portion may be securely clamped I employ a. resilient split clamping ring 17 adapted to be forced into the mouth piece to be contracted by the flare of the wall 14 as the ring approaches the shoulder The ring is finally firmly seated against the upset extension 16 as shown in Figure 4. When the parts are assembled as shown in Figure 4, the neck of the bottle presents a highly satisfactory combination which gives to the neck a high measure of rigidity so that the closure cap 18 shown in Figure 4 can be readily applied to or removed from the bottle without disorganizing the neck por-- tion of the bottle or causing collapse thereof. used in connection witha body 10 which is frusto-conical as described. I find a. frusto-conical bottle is capable of standing great strains without possiblity of accidental collapse.

In the form shown in Figures 5 and 9 inclusive the arrangement of parts is somewhat a reversal of that referred to in the first embodiment of the invention. The mouth piece 19 consists of a rigid or stiff anvnular wall :20, a horizontal shoulder 21 adapted to serve as a seat for the closure cap, and an angular downwardly flared wall 22 which is curved into the annular wall 20 as shown at 23.

Upon reference to Figure 5 it will be observed that the split ring 24 is arranged up on the exterior of the restricted portion 16 of the body and that said extension 16 rises to a slight extent above said ring 241. The annular wall of the mouth piece is interiorly positioned with respect to the extension 16. After the parts have been initially brought together as shown in Figure 5 the mouth piece is moved in downward dirertion toward the ring 2%. This deflects the extension 16 of the bottle and causes it to conform to the shape of the underside of the curve 23 of the mouth piece. in so doing the neck of the body portion 10 is firmly sandwiched between the wall 20 and the aforesaid clamping ring 24.

"When this second step of assembling the parts has been accomplished as shown in Figure 6, the wall 22 is bent downwardly at 25 as shown in Figure 7 and then inwardly at 26 as shown in Figure 8. This completes the formation of the neck of the bottle so as togive to the neck a maximummeasure of efficiency and rigidity. @n reference to the form shown in Figures 10 to 12 inclusive, I employ a cylindrical body 27. a

mouth piece 28 and a resilient ring 29. The

mouth piece is provided with an annular wall 30, a curved wall 31 and a closure seat This feature is very desirable when 29 is brought up so as to underlie the curved portion 32 and the terminal of the wall 31 is then pressed in at 33 as shown in Figure 12. This brings the curved portion 32 and the wall 31 in concentric relation with respect to the cross-sectional form of the ring 29. The parts are now firmly clamped to each other with the wall 32 sandwiched between the ring 29 and said wall 81. In either of the forms of my invention herein shown and described, the essentials of construction consist of a. rigid mouth piece, a resilient or otherwise suitably constructed clamping ring and the flexible wall at the neck of the body of the bottle, all of which parts are brought together so as to simplify the construction of containers of this class and give to same a maximum measure of strength and durability.

l l hile l have described what ll deem to be the most desirable embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that many of the details of construction may be varied without in any way departing from the spiritof my invention, and I therefore do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set forth nor to anything less than the whole of my invention limited only by the appended claims.

What is claimed as new is 1. it receptacle including a paper body,

resilient clamping ring adapted be over the neck of the body, a mouth relatively rigid material passed into the neck of the body, and a downwardly flared T 2; A receptacle includin a paper body,-

a resilient clamping ringadapted to be placed over the neck of the body, a mouth piece of relatively rigid material passed into the neck of the body, and a downwardly flared wall formed on said mouth piece serving to deform the walls of the neck to bring the same in clamping confinement "be tween said ring and mouth piece, saidi mouth piece LOYOVIdQd WllLh a shoulder serving as-a seat for a disk closure. I

3. A receptacle including a paper body, a

resilient clamping ring passed over the neck of said body, a mouth piece of relatively rigid material having a downwardly flared wall and an inner horizontal flange serving as a valve seat for a closure disk, said mouth piece insertable in the neck of the body to ice cause said flared wall to co-actwith the periphery of said neck to cause the same tobe' brought mto clamping confinement between the said clamping ring and said mouth iece. In testimony whereof I have afiixe my signature.
